Candle holders.
BTW, the new plastic ones are junk- so keep the glass ones.
Hi Ashelee, here's a lovely tutorial where the blogger turned them into pretty tea light holders - https://theapplestreetcottage.blogspot.com/2017/04/repurposed-glass-furniture-coasters.html
They can be wonderful to use with epoxy pours and photographs.
Lots of ideas here:

Are your coasters coloured glass or clear?
Could be placed on top of each other (one bottom down, and the other bottom up, like a lid) after placing transparent wire fairy lights inside, to make patio or porch lights?
Hi Ashlee,
Do you mean Glass Caster rests? Maybe you could post a picture or two?
Hi Ashlee,
If these are the heavy glass cups used to hold casters, then they make great Paper weights or door stops, ring holders or soap holders too........Happy New year!
Hi Ashlee, you could re-purpose them as tealight holders or perhaps small containers for office supplies such as paper clips, push pins, etc. A series of them with tealights would be quite nice.
Hello Ashlee.
I noticed you said UPcycle not recycle.
You could try acrylic pouring on them. Then, when dry,you an either seal with a varnish or with resin.
You can also mix acrylic paints with resin, to do the whole thing in one step.
Either one or 2 colours, a dirty pour, or tree rings, the options are endless & you'll find all these options in videos on YouTube.
Please show your end results!
OR, if you decide to recycle into something else, you could take 5 coasters, glue together to form a box & use to keep photos in, or accessories etc.
